The Cats

The Cats - Bustopher Jones lyrics

Your rating:
The next cat to join the proceedings is the hefty "Bustopher 

Jones." A large "twenty-five pounder," always clad in his 

signature white spats, Bustopher spends his time eating, eating 

and eating in one of the many English pubs and clubs that he 

frequents. Jennyanydots is quite besauntered with him, and helps 

sing his praises. He responds, to her great delight, by kissing 

her hand. 



SOLO: 

Bustopher Jones is not skin and bones 

In fact, he's remarkably fat 

He doesn't haunt pubs, he has eight or nine clubs 

For he's the St. James Street cat! 



He's the cat we all greet as we walk down the street 

In his coat of fastidious black 

No common-place mousers have such well cut trousers 

Or such an impeccable back 



In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is 

The name of this Brummell of cats 

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to 

By Bustopher Jones in white spats 



BUSTOPHER JONES: 

My visits are occasional to the senior educational 

And it is against the rules 

For any one cat to belong both to that 

And the joint superior schools 

When I'm seen in a hurry there's probably curry 

At the Siamese or at the glutton 

When I look full of gloom then 

I've lunched at the tomb 

On cabbage, rice pudding and mutton 



SOLO: 

In the whole of St. James's the smartest of names is 

The name of this Brummell of cats 

And we're all of us proud to be nodded or bowed to 

By Bustopher Jones in white spats 



So much in this way passes Bustopher's day 

At one club or another he's found 

It can be no surprise that under our eyes 

He has grown unmistakably round 



He's a twenty-five pounder 



BUSTOPHER JONES: 

Or I am a bounder 



SOLO: 

And he's putting on weight every day 



BUSTOPHER JONES: 

But I'm so well preserved because I've observed 

All my life a routine and I'd say 



I am still in my prime, I shall last out my time 

That's the word from this stoutest of cats 

It must and it shall be spring in Pall Mall 

While Bustopher Jones wears white 

Bustopher Jones wears white 

Bustopher Jones wears white spats!
